Many books have influenced me as I love reading different kinds of books. It is hard for me to choose the best three books which had the most influence on me.
1)The Minds of Billy Milligan by Daniel Keyes
2)The Milligan Wars by Daniel Keyes
I am currently reading The Milligan Wars now after reading The Minds of Billy Milligan this summer. However, I haven’t finished reading “The Milligan Wars”, I cannot give any comment on this book.
Billy Milligan, who was the first person diagnosed with multiple personality disorder to raise such a defense. After having committed several felonies, psychologists diagnosed Milligan with personality disorder. “The Minds of Billy Milligan” is a book about the 24 personalities in Milligan and why he was arrested, “The Milligan Wars” is a book about how Milligan fight for his right and how he was being treated in the hospital.
I was shocked after finished reading this book because I cannot imagine how Milligan’s life was in his childhood. This is a real case in U.S.A. These two books remind me that in this society, there are different kinds of people we should give help. We should not label them. Everyone is equal in this society.

3)An Introduction to English-Chinese and Chinese-English Translation
As I want to be a translator in the future, I have read different books about the translation skills between English-Chinese/ Chinese-English/ Japanese-Chinese/ Chinese-Japanese.
It is the first book I read about the basic knowledge of translation between Eng-Chin. Also, there is a book for Jap-Chin translation, but I left my book in Hong Kong and I forgot the exact name of the book.
Although I have read different books about translation, these two books cover a lot of basic skills that how to translate words in better ways. They can help me how to start. Therefore, they had the most influence on me. I know that it is still a long way for me to be a professional translator, but I will try my best to fight for my dream.
